2002. We were completely gassed at 3/4 time. The only reason the game was played at the G was because there was a stipulation at the time that at least 1 game each week of the finals needed to be played at the MCG

Travis Johnstone was unbelievably good in that 3rd quarter. It was a crazy game for emotions.
At the end of the game I walked home from the MCG all the way to Brunswick, randomly swearing and kicking things.

2021 GF. Flew in on the day with my 10yr old son. Sat behind the goals with the Dees fans. Soaked up the atmosphere and got a bit emotional listening to Up there Cazaly of all things!! Thought we were absolutely gone after Bont’s goal. They were marking everything and we had lost all composure. If I was at home I would have thrown the remote at the TV but I was strangely calm. I told my son we’d leave early if we were getting flogged and then it all changed. Knew it was over after Brown’s goal in the last. 
 

2000 final against Carlton. Great game and such an exciting finish. Cam Bruce and Brad Green showing their skills. Carlton fans sooking it up big time. 
 

1998 round 8 or so against the filth. We won by 3 points and I’m pretty sure both Rocca brothers hit the post late. Smith was huge. 
 

1998 round 22 against the Tigers. They had to win to make finals and we flogged them. Farmer’s mark……unbelievable, and the roar when they replayed it on the screen was almost louder than the actual mark. 
 

I also saw us when I was about 10 barely gear over the line against the Bears at Carara when Capper was plodding in the twos. Family and friends only watched that slip with about as much atmosphere as a rugby league game. 

 

This confirms my theory that demonland is better in the off-season. Terrific thread. Great memories.

  • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    From knocking off a Premiership contender to getting embarrassed by the winless Bombers who were on a 17 game losing streak .... Welcome Back MFCSS.
